Quick Tip: Get an Image Link from Your Site in Only 2 Clicks
- By Jess Brown | Jul 17, 2018
Intent warning: Use for images you own/have permission to use. I take no credit or responsibility for what you do with the images, it's up to you to play by the rules.
When images are directly placed on a web-page (not as a background-image), you can get its path (where on the server it's stored) pretty quick:
- Right click on the image.
- Select "Copy Image Location" (exact wording may vary depending on your browser).
- Paste (CTRL/CMD + V) in email, mark-up, etc.
For Developers: Getting the path this way makes it fast to put that image into another page if you're working with the mark-up.
For Stakeholders: Now you can send the path/link to your developer or others without downloading the image or opening the image in a new tab and copying the URL.
NOTE: if you're having trouble getting the path or you don't see the option from step #2, the image you're clicking on might be a background image or a link on top of the image (see below), so this tip won't work.
